The Twist That May Break
Here we go into the summer and all is to be told about the “new” way and “how” it should be in the Church of God. So much for all that, yawn! There is so much going on in the “spiritual” level of the Church that the General Assembly will be nothing but a “Who’s Who” in some “Who’s Who book but I do not know whose. Do you?
Great revival has broken out again in Florida and all eyes and ears are open to the critics but not the Lord and just maybe He is doing something there that is new and refreshing! Oh well, just let the critics work it out as God does His thing and everyone that should be there will be there. The “arm chair” revivalist’ will have fun running it from their living room televisions! Why not, it is a “media” revival is it not?
The shrinking of the Church of God is still going on but as usual everyone has their head in the sand looking out from their butt. Come on we are shrinking! Oh, yes, that is right your not but it not just about you! There is always growth, in spotty areas, in a denomination when it shrinks as a whole. That happens because some pastors don’t even realize that they belong to something! Keep going guys, ignorance is bliss when you can get away with it!
So what is going to happen in the Fall of 2008? Probably there will be meetings and plans made with the hope that the former things will not rise back up! The funny thing is that they never have ever been pushed down. It is a gimmick of some sort when we think that the “new” leadership team at “headquarters” is really different. Same stuff, new faces (maybe), all the promises of help and hope but the pockets keep getting bigger and who knows what really happens on that mighty fourth floor? It must be really incredible though! I would suspect that it changes good men into pleasing men and some where along the line integrity looses its intense road to holiness.
Till next time when the morning brings news of a whispering of spiritual truth that just may open the eyes of the concerned. Oh, don’t forget that the mouse will show up in August in San Antonio, TX and the elephant will turn and run!
Best
Dennis
